Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have done this a long time ago, I don't remember the exact logic I used. But I do know that I created a D3 project that was just one light and one press, compiled and opened the Simpl and reversed engineered the logic from there.

Hi,

I have a new request from a old project to add Toggle Dim to some of the keypad buttons. This project was completed some years ago and we programmed the buttons to only Toggle the light(s) on/off with each button PRESS. This was all done in SIMPL, not using D3. Was hoping someone has a Simpl example of how I could add this functionality to the current SIMPL program. I know the keypad includes HOLD functionality per button, but was hoping for a module that includes this.


Thank you!


Re: Add Toggle Dim function to C2N-CB-TS keypad buttons in SIMPL

 

Take a look at the Crestron Module: press and hold v1.2 (cm)
It will give you a separate 'Not Held' and 'Held' outputs that you can take separately from your button press to your toggle logic and Cycle Dim logic.

Hi Real Monkey Magic - interested to learn more about the module you have...

Hi AV Ninja - did you get any solution to this?


DSC Neo Integration issues

 

Hello, thanks for letting me join your little group. I've been a Crestron programmer for 13 years but it's always been small, simple residential systems. The one I'm working on now is seriously kicking my butt and I'm sure I'll be making more posts with more 3rd party integration issues before this is done.

My current issue is trying to incorporate a DSC Neo Security system into my Simpl program using The Crestron Certified Driver "DSC Powerseries - Neo Security system IP"
I have the driver loaded, I have my Simpl program talking to the driver properly, and I think I'm finally getting a little feedback from the Security system, but not much. The message I'm getting on Debugger is as Follows:

DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - Channel Ready Status: 10
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - Channel Ready Status: 20 Number of Channels=0
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - Channel Ready Status: 100 ready:0
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - Channel not ready on interation 25 ... Sleeping
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - Continuing trying to find a channel

(repeat several times)

DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - [CTCPServer::ThreadProc] Socket Status failure??
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - [CUDPPoint::ThreadProc] Handling EINTR case in other Socket??
DscPowerSeriesNeoTcp : [SHIM] - [CTCPServer::ThreadProc] Handling EINTR case in other Socket?

(Repeat 1st grouping above)

Can anyone who has successfully used this module offer some insight on where I should go from here?


Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

FTR, we got things working with the strings as noted above. Seems to work great - 115k baud BTW...because we really need to turn it on quickly!...HaHa

It still did take us 4 hours unrelated to the Seura...
Its a take-over job and we just needed to temp the control for the client before we completely revamp the system.
The path was simple - CP4 port to AVpro EX70 balun to the TV...but since it was mounted without an articulating mount and above a counter, with no slack on the cables, etc, etc..
And then we had inexplicable issues getting the comms to work properly with symptomatic red-herrings et.al....Ugghh! I need to charge more...:)

How you set up FB massage for Crestron in BS player??
Is it send UDP "name of feedback" in advanced section of movie files?


Re: Epson Projector Crestron Connected

 

There is a third important setting when you want to control via lan hdbaset :
in my memory it¡¯s (in French, sorry) : ? mode attente ? activated in ? R¨¦glage AV ? > ? sortie AV ?

I don¡¯t know why, but it helped me few months ago on new projectors


Re: Epson Projector Crestron Connected

 

There's 2 important settings in Epson projector menu:

Signal I/O, A/V input to ALWAYS ON
Signal I/O, HDBaseT communication to ON


Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today

 

My latest article, "Managing a Home¡¯s Air Temperature Based on the PMV Comfort Model¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Since the development of modern heating and cooling systems for homes, people have managed their operation by simply selecting a temperature "set point".? However, that approach doesn't focus on what is really important; whether the occupants of the home are comfortable, or not.? This article looks at the practical application of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineer (ASHRAE) standard 55 which focuses on thermal comfort instead of set points when heating / cooling a home.

You can find the article here:

Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

Here's what we use:
Power ON--? \x02PWD:1\x03

Power OFF-- \x02PWD:0\x03

Mute ON-- \x02MUT:1\x03

Mute OFF-- \x02MUT:0\x03

Input 1-- \x02INP:1\x03

Volume 50-- \x02VOL:050\x03


Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

\x02PWD:0\x03


Re: Cheap reliable power monitoring.....ya right.

 

Many of the current generator installs they have an on board or add-on I/O and Relay board that can be programmed for various faults/statuses (Kohler calles it a PIM for example). We always tie into those and feed our processor to get running status/fault status/low battery/etc.?


Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

Must admit, I love protocols that start and end with \x02 and \x03

:)


Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

That's what I thought but their docu was confusing to me, with their example string...
Thanks Eric!!


Re: Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 
Edited

For Crestron you would use \x** to send a hex character. So, you would use \x03 not [0x03]


Seura Shade 2 RS-232 control

 

Hi All,
I'll be working on a project with rs-232 control of a Seura Shade 2 TV and have the protocol doc.
it lists the following for the start and end characters:
? Start with 0x02 (hex)
? End with 0x03 (hex)
The example for Power OFF is:
[0x02]PWD:0[0x03]

For those who have dealt with this product, do you think the format should be:
\x02PWD:0\x03 or [0x02]PWD:0[0x03]

I'm thinking the former, but of course anything is possible in this realm! Haha

TIA!


Re: Bond Bridge

 

I have one controlling a few different brands of fans plus some RF shades in the house. Jay's module works well, but I also have an ISY-994 controlling the same fans with some pretty simple commands.

This might help you out, though it's not Creston based, it's what I'm spitting out of the ISY. The only problem might be is if the fans have a discreet power off command or not. They'll usually turn on with a speed command, but of course power off will be problematic if the fan's power switch is a toggle.

PUT /v2/devices/<device #>/actions/TurnOn HTTP/1.1

I don't think it would be too difficult to write up a basic S+ module to control the fans, just dig into their API a bit to find the power and speed command actions.
